Late at night on a street in Athens, someone stabs a woman to death and disappears into the dark. Looking for a probable cause for the crime, the police focuses on the private life of the murdered woman. The eventual appearance of the killer seems to leave more questions unanswered: What exactly was his motive? What conditions a man to commit violence in order to affirm his masculinity? How do we hold accountable a person living with mental illness? What is justice after all?

Quite an achievement. Marketaki unravels her tale with a sure, steady hand, taking her time to shed light on every side of the story at every corner, and delivers a 3-hour epic that almost never drags and laudably shifts its focus halfway through with no hesitation. Some of the acting is decidedly amateurish and I found the court scenes a bit overlong and occasionally unsubtle, but overall this is a gripping, acute and sadly apropos portrayal of an unabashed society cruelly hijacking a femicide.
